Step back in time and roll up your sleeves for a day of fun at one of our region’s historic farms dating back to well over 100 years ago. Decades ago, a section of creek here became a convenient—but damaging—dumpsite. Today, it’s littered with old oil drums, rusted metal, broken glass, plastic, and other debris that has slowly leached into the surrounding habitat.

By working together to clear this trash, we’ll give the creek a fresh start—improving water quality, restoring safe habitat for wildlife, and allowing native plants to thrive again. It’s messy work with a lasting impact, the kind that leaves you tired in the best way possible and proud of the difference you’ve made.

All supplies will be provided. Just bring your enthusiasm, wear sturdy shoes, and be ready to make this dumpsite history.
